review了以前的帖子,我的问题没有人提过:

a lowering of interests rates and of fears about inlation，

概括地说，a n1(singular) of n2(plural) and of n3(plural)

多谢！

这个lowering是一个趋势吧，然后of interest rates和 of fears about inflation平行并列，其实是  a lowering of interest rates and（a lowering) of fears about inflation,省略

考点为结构平行。

第一层次的并列：

A,B and C

(A)lowering interest rates, as well as lowering fears about inflation, (B)a rally in stocks and bonds, and (C)a weakening of the dollar.
                

从B,C很容易推出A的结构应该为: 冠词＋动名词＋of

第二层次的并列：

a lowering of interest rates and（a lowering ） of fears about inflation

这里保留了原句的意思，并且and比as well as更简洁。
